5 Which Industry Use Cases Should an EPM Center of Excellence Prioritize?

An Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Center of Excellence should prioritize industry use cases that connect planning, close, profitability, reporting, workforce, and data governance to the organization’s operating model.

The tables below help CoE leaders identify relevant EPM and Enterprise Data Management (EDM) capabilities, sequence a roadmap, and align investments to industry-specific outcomes.

Use these examples to start a roadmap discussion with business and Finance stakeholders. Prioritize the use cases with the highest business value, clearest data dependencies, and strongest alignment to strategic initiatives; then phase the remaining capabilities into subsequent roadmap releases.

Select a small number of high-value initial use cases, define their data and process dependencies, and create a phased Cloud EPM roadmap. Review the matrix after each release cycle, incorporate new stakeholder priorities and platform capabilities, and maintain a visible backlog of future use cases.
